Description: | A copper alloy buckle dating from the medieval period. The buckle is 34.15mm long, 27.64mm wide and 3.1mm thick. It weighs 4.46g. The frame of the buckle is oval and bevelled. A zoomorphic head projects from one side. There is no constriction for the pin, which is wire and the tip of it is missing. The buckle has a dark green and black patina. It is also possible that the object is a brooch, but since the frame has no constriction for the pin, it would normally be classed as a buckle. A similar borderline example is number 212 in "Dress Accessories" by Egan and Pritchard, though their example does have a constriction; it dates from 1350 - 1400 and a similar date is likely for this example.
